This news release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a sale of, the notes or any other securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. Additionally, this news release shall not constitute a notice of redemption under the indentures governing the NuStar 2026 Notes or the Sunoco 2027 Notes.

Exhibit 99.2
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information of Sunoco LP (“Sunoco” or the “Partnership”) reflects the pro forma impacts of the Parkland Acquisition (defined below) which closed on October 31, 2025. Unless otherwise noted, the pro forma financial statement and the notes thereto are presented in United States Dollar, or $, references herein to which represent the lawful currency of the United States. References herein to Canadian Dollar or C$ represent the lawful currency of Canada.
Parkland Acquisition. On October 31, 2025, Sunoco completed the previously announced acquisition of Parkland (“Parkland Acquisition”) whereby Sunoco Retail, LLC, a wholly owned corporate subsidiary of the Partnership, indirectly acquired all the outstanding shares of Parkland Corporation (“Parkland”), in exchange for cash and units representing limited liability company interests in SunocoCorp LLC (“SunocoCorp”) units that were contributed by SunocoCorp to the Partnership at the close of the Parkland Acquisition. Under the terms of the agreement, Parkland shareholders received 0.295 SunocoCorp units and C$19.80 for each Parkland share. Parkland shareholders could elect, in the alternative, to receive C$44.00 per Parkland share in cash or 0.536 SunocoCorp units for each Parkland share, subject to proration to ensure that the aggregate consideration payable in connection with the transaction would not exceed C$19.80 in cash per Parkland share outstanding as of immediately before close and 0.295 SunocoCorp units per Parkland share outstanding as of immediately before close. In connection with the closing of the Parkland Acquisition, Sunoco paid approximately $2.60 billion to Parkland’s shareholders and transferred 51,517,198 SunocoCorp units, which Sunoco had received from SunocoCorp in exchange for the issuance of 51,517,198 Class D units representing limited partner interest in the Partnership (“Class D Units”) to SunocoCorp.
Parkland is a leading international fuel distributor, marketer and convenience retailer with operations in 26 countries across the Americas. Parkland’s functional currency is the Canadian Dollar, and its consolidated structure includes subsidiaries with multiple other functional currencies.
As part of the transaction, the Partnership repurposed and renamed an existing subsidiary as SunocoCorp. Prior to the Parkland Acquisition, SunocoCorp did not have any significant assets, liabilities or operations; in connection with the Parkland Acquisition, the Partnership deconsolidated SunocoCorp and SunocoCorp became a publicly traded entity classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. SunocoCorp units began trading on the NYSE effective November 6, 2025. Subsequent to the Parkland Acquisition, SunocoCorp holds Sunoco Class D Units, representing limited partnership interests in Sunoco that are generally economically equivalent to Sunoco’s publicly traded common units on the basis of one Sunoco Common Unit for each outstanding SunocoCorp unit. For a period of two years following closing of the transaction, Sunoco will ensure that SunocoCorp unitholders receive distributions on a per unit basis that are equivalent to the per unit distributions to Sunoco unitholders
The acquisition was recorded using the acquisition method of accounting which requires, among other things, that assets and liabilities assumed be recognized on the balance sheet at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition, with any excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired recorded to goodwill. Management, with the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist, determined the fair value of assets and liabilities as of the date of the acquisition. Determining the fair value involves the use of management’s judgment as well as the use of significant estimates and assumptions.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations assumes that the Parkland Acquisition was consummated on January 1, 2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statement should be read in conjunction with Sunoco’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and Parkland’s interim condensed consolidated financial statement (unaudited) for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. A pro forma balance sheet has not been included herein, because Parkland’s assets and liabilities were included in Sunoco’s audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statement has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as amended by Release No. 33-10786. The pro forma adjustments included herein include those adjustments that reflect the accounting for the Parkland Acquisition in accordance with U.S. GAAP (“transaction accounting adjustments”). Adjustments to reflect synergies and/or dis-synergies related to the Parkland Acquisition (“management adjustments”), which are elective pro forma adjustments under Release No. 33-10786, have not been reflected herein.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statement is for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial results that would have occurred if the Parkland Acquisition had been consummated on the date indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations in the future. The pro forma adjustments, as described in the accompanying notes, are based upon available information and certain assumptions that are believed to be reasonable as of the date of this document. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information includes certain non-recurring transaction-related adjustments, as discussed in the accompanying notes.
The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on available information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is presented for informational purposes only, and is not intended to be a projection of future results. All pro forma adjustments and their underlying assumptions are described more fully in the notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial information.
